Thanks for the invite @Scottish_AI to the #ScotAISummit - it was great to discuss how we can better employ #AI to end #modernslavery with @abimunroe from @WalkFree & Adriana Bora

"We need research at scale to hold companies to account. The majority are failing at the first hurdle; submitting statements that do not meet minimum criteria and guidance on reporting.” - @abimunroe at #ScotAISummit on how technology can be harnessed to #EndSlavery

[Abigail Munroe @abimunroe]

Excellent to be representing @WalkFree at this years Scottish AI Summit. Our panel focused on the role of humans and AI together in fighting modern slavery, with a particular focus on human rights legislation and global business supply chains

[Abigail Munroe @abimunroe]

Thank you @Scottish_AI for featuring me in your #InternationalWomensDay blog! Feel like a bit of a fraud given the extent of my knowledge on actual AI 😆 but I'm looking forward to providing a human rights lens on our all-female panel at this months summit!

As the secretariat for The Bali Process Government and Business Forum,Walk Free were calling for transparency+accountability for people at every level of transnational supply chains- through mandatory human rights due diligence+import controls. Now to turn commitments into action

The 8th Bali Process Ministerial Conference Co-Chairs Statement is now live - read it in full here: https://t.co/8HPe966oWM

Outcomes include the activation of the Consultation Mechanism to address irregular maritime movements in the Andaman Sea.

I also discussed the @AlboMP Government's efforts to tackle modern slavery, including establishing an Anti-Slavery Commissioner, with @GraceAForrest from @WalkFree

A huge thank you to Nasreen Sheikh, a survivor of modern day slavery, who powerfully challenges those here today: “Young girls should be able to dream.” Latest estimates show 50 million people living in modern slavery. Gov & business will come together tmrw to commit new actions

[Abigail Munroe @abimunroe]

Test shoot for an amazing day hearing from incredible survivors of modern slavery at the Freedom From Slavery Forum in Morocco. Feeling privileged to be in this space learning from survivor leaders.

[Abigail Munroe @abimunroe]

Delighted to be at the Freedom From Slavery Forum, learning from amazing activists and survivors in the modern slavery movement.

[Abigail Munroe @abimunroe]

Proud to be a part of the amazing @WalkFree team ✨👏🏼 Fighting to eradicate modern slavery worldwide.

As 71% of people living in modern slavery are women and girls, in systems developed mostly by men, it is deliberate that we’re an 80% female team! ♥️

[Abigail Munroe @abimunroe]

#WhenCompaniesValuePeople they do everything in their power to end social inequalities in their operations & supply chains. Yet @SDGBenchmarks research shows that out of 1000 companies only 1% are meeting the basics of socially responsible business conduct.https://t.co/L9Dn5a2Lqy

@AirCanada please help! My luggage didn’t arrive in Cancun after a connecting flight from Toronto. It was supposed to be delivered to my hotel today but hasn’t been and I leave the area tomorrow. I can’t get through to anyone on the phone and need to locate my luggage ASAP. Thnx

[Abigail Munroe @abimunroe]

When you realise the true extent of the Conservative Governments private contracts scandal… #SponsoredByHulaHoops #CovidBriefing #BorisJohnsonMustGo

I was delighted to join this panel alongside Members of the European Parliament, & representatives of Civil Society & Academia. Fascinating interventions and strong support for how the EU Anti-Trafficking Directive can be strengthened to better protect all vulnerable children.

[Lumos @lumos]

@abimunroe from @lumos is talking about The Links Between Children’s Institutions and Human Trafficking: evidence across Europe shows that many institutions are set up to recruit children, including children with disabilities.

“On Friday the Prime Minister said never mind life expectancy, never mind cancer outcomes, look at wage growth. What does that say of this Prime Ministers priority’s?”

Rishi Sunak - “I think that was a mischaracterization of what he said”

Let’s take a look at that

[Abigail Munroe @abimunroe]

I'm running the @LLHalf this Sunday to raise funds for @BrainTumourOrg, in memory of my incredible Uncle. Brain cancers only receive 3% of the national annual cancer research budget, despite having amongst the worst prognosis. Grateful for any support! https://t.co/sOrrk2SmgT

[Abigail Munroe @abimunroe]

So inspired by Laura, and the incredible efforts of those raising vital funds for @BrainTumourOrg. We MUST find a cure for this cruel disease. #Glioblastoma treatments haven't changed in decades & brain cancer kills more kids & adults <40 than any other.

[JohnRoydensMadSwim @MadRoydens]

Today is Glioblastoma Awareness Day (Glioblastoma is a particularly aggressive adult brain tumour with very poor prognosis) This is the amazing, inspirational and brave Laura who has a terminal diagnosis. We MUST find a cure for this disease.
